Random poster in a thread about games: "Please tell me you've played more than a hundred games in your life. Think about it. A hundred. Should seem like a small number, compared to probably over a million games out there"
Interesting question. How many games HAVE I played? For the purposes of this question, let's say games you've played for a minimum of one hour. Beyond that, the definition is up to you (arcade, phone, flash, console, PC, whatever).
How many games are in your Steam/GoG libraries today?
I'm going to work on a more accurate count, but my GoG/Steam libraries have about 150 games, and I have certainly not played all of those. I would guess my bodycount is between 300 and 400, spanning from the late 80s to today, with a greatly diminished count in the last ten years.
What's yours?
I probably played 100 games by the time I was 10 if we count shit like Spy Fox and edutainment games. Fuck, my whole class spent a week to do a couple play throughs of the latest Oregon Trail game when I was in like 5th grade.
Kids today get chromebooks. Fine for browsing the web and accessing Canvas, but severely limited. It's kind of sad, and you can really tell that kids today are not learning the same fundamental computer skills that we had to in the 90s/00s (and earlier, though fewer people were regularly using computers in the 80s and before).
